I am installing my Spektrum SR3500 with Tekin B1R this week. I previously had the full size Spektrum RX with the Xray 180 esc. It worked alright, but I had to bind the RX with a different ESC to get it to work. Throttle response is also better on the B1R.
The size of the standard RX was too large, the SR3500 fits nicely.

I just got done reading some info on the Tekin B1R ESC and it sounds like a good esc. Also, I plan on installing a KO Propo KR-408S receiver, it is pretty small.
The "best servo" comes down to a couple choices, as far as the team seems to have found: Futaba S3114, S3154, and JR DS285 (edited post, I guess I read some of EMU's writeups incorrectly. ).
The S3154 is digital, especially great if you're going to be using the KR-408S. You should definitely consider reinforcing the servo horn to make it stiffer though, as all Futaba micro servos tend to come with flimsy horns. I haven't found a good servo saver that fits the small Futaba splines yet though, so this is a consideration.
Same things apply to the S3114, which is the servo I recommend using with the Mini-Z ASF board. Reinforcing the servo horn is a good idea, like the S3154 -- see this pic for Pchan0's take on it:
EMU likes the JR DS285 more as it can fit the Micro-T servo saver with no modifications; however, I think the Micro-T servo saver itself needs some work to be tall enough to engage the tierod properly. See this pic:
I use the JR 285, which is a digital servo. Dave and I both noticed that it has more torque and is a bit faster than the SM22. It uses the same servo horns/savers.
I think I am using an M18 or Mini-T saver, not the Micro-t saver. Its been a while since I took it out of the packaging...

Is it the Mini-T saver? I remember you saying something about it, I assumed it was the Micro-T one since the 18th scale servo savers are pretty big (I bought an RC18 saver... doesn't fit on the Futaba S3114 at all).
MK2kompressor uses the Micro-T servo saver in the second picture, lengthened with a piece of CF, with good results.
